Complete the following sentence with a (compound) word derived from the one given in bracket.
Alex was almost（ ）with anger and despair when our team lost the game. (speech)
【正确答案】：SPEECHLESS
【题目解析】：
本题考查的是常用名词的形容词。
由was almost可知空缺处应填形容词，同时，分析语境“带着愤怒与失望”，故此处应是说不出话，speechless意为“无语的，讲不出话的”。
句意：当我们队输掉比赛时，Alex脸上写满了愤怒与失望，竟无语凝噎。
